The API 312 is one of the most important preamps in recording history. In 2019, API Audio celebrated its 50th anniversary with a limited edition of the mic preamp. Due to huge demand, API brought the 500 module back into regular production.
The API 312 is based on the original design by company co-founder Saul Walker. The fully discrete circuit design uses 2520 op amps and proprietary AP2516 input transformers to achieve the familiar sound of 1970s American rock productions with plenty of warmth. In keeping with the limited edition 50th Anniversary Edition, the API 312 features a vintage-style analog VU meter, in addition to a 20 dB pad switch and peak LED. The 500 series module offers a maximum gain of 69 dB.
